When it comes to self-care, I believe that you should focus on what goes into your body in order to get the results you seek. I’ve written about beauty and cosmetic products a lot on this blog, but I haven’t really touched on items that will help your body function better internally. Since I’ve had more time on my hands to think about and invest in certain wellness products during this quarantine, I thought I would share a few of my favorites with you here:
These are 100% Vegan, plant-based, ready to drink, dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, vegetarian, allergy-friendly, and provide Only What You Need (OWYN). Their protein shakes come in a variety of different flavors such as Dark Chocolate, Cold Brew Coffee, Cookies n Cream, Strawberry Banana, and Vanilla. They also have meal replacement shakes in Chai and Dark Chocolate, or, if you prefer to make your own protein smoothie or shake, you can buy their protein powder in Dark Chocolate or Vanilla! My personal favorite is their Dark Chocolate Shake, which tastes like a chilled, melted version of New York chocolate Italian ice! It’s delicious and brings back sweet summer childhood memories. Each shake contains 20 grams of plant protein to deliver all 9 essential amino acids to promote optimal daily health and is a “great source of fiber, high vegan omega-3, and a superfoods greens blend of kale, spinach, and broccoli.” The pre-packaged shakes also have an 18-month shelf life and don’t require refrigeration until after opening. Another aspect I love about the brand is the fact that they’re allergen-friendly; not only are the products free from peanut or tree nuts, but they’re also manufactured in a nut-free facility. This eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, and it’s extremely rare to find products that are completely allergen-friendly like this! If you’re going to try any of OWYN’s products, I highly recommend you start out with the Dark Chocolate Shakes 🙂
These are paleo-friendly, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, and gluten-free healthy ‘ice treats.’ They’re frozen blends of fruit seeds and super fruits that have the same nutrition as a healthy breakfast with the texture of a dessert! These all-natural desserts packed with plant protein, fiber, and antioxidants come in 7 different flavors: Acai Berry, Chocolate, Strawberry, Maple Cinnamon, Matcha Green Tea, Chocolate Mint Chip, and Passion Fruit. I’d describe the texture as something between Italian ice and ice cream; admittedly, it took me a while to get used to the different texture and taste, but I was hooked once I did. You can eat these alone as a dessert or incorporate a few scoops into your own protein smoothie for some added flavor and texture. I’d recommend trying out the Chocolate flavor to eat alone as a dessert or the Passion Fruit flavor to include in a smoothie!
These are high protein, low carb, cereals created to taste like your favorite childhood cereals with the nutrition you need as an adult! They’re sugar-free, grain-free, gluten-free, and come in 4 different flavors: Blueberry, Cocoa, Frosted, and Fruity. The cereals taste very similar to Boo Berry, Cocoa Puffs, Frosted Flakes, and Fruit Loops, respectively; the Magic Spoon website even compares their cereals to the brands listed above on a chart with the categories of protein, net carbs, grain-free, and gluten-free. You can order the cereals separately or in a variety pack; I received the variety pack with all four flavors, and I really like the Fruity one! These are more expensive than your average cereal box, so you’re paying a premium for the added nutrition. If you’re an avid cereal eater who wants to find a healthier version with similar taste, give Magic Spoon cereals a try!
